The Sonnet of Valeria Botello

Deep voices from the earth call out her name
Growling and rumbling, corpses from graves
Summoned by the devil, she cannot tame
The monster within, locked away in caves

Her name is a folk tale, forbidden lore
Her lips are untouched, as evil deprives
Her voice is an omen, harbinger roar
Her touch, a death sentence, no one survives

Demons from the depths of hell, here to take
Wicked deals made long ago, ink still wet
Always on the run, death left in the wake
No one understands, the curse that’s been set

Beauty on the surface, pain underneath
The girl who runs from monsters with big teeth

I like the title very much. AC. a beautiful and deep sonnet. I've read many sonnets on this site. But this one tops them all. I truly mean what I just said. I like the story. Poor Valeria B, reminds me of my granddaughter. Always thinking a monster's chasing her... Enjoyed. LINDA
